Hotel berhampiran SALTO Amsterdam, Amsterdam

My wife and I spent 2 nights at this lovely hotel. From Schiphol Airport we took a train to Central Station then walked to the Canal and at a self service kiosk purchased a Tram Ticket for line 26 and took it 2 stops. We then walked 15 minutes to the hotel. After checking in we had a wonderful lunch at the hotel restaurant then walked to the main part of the city. The room we had, 212, was basic and comfortable. Inside the bathroom was the toilet and shower. The sink is outside the bathroom so while one of us was showering, the other could shave, brush teeth etc. Hotel has an elevator. The food at breakfast and dinner was really very good. The overall staff is helpful. Enjoyed our stay very much. We choose this hotel because of its location to the cruise port.

Stayed here for a few nights. First off the location is decent for the price, pretty much in the centre, once you get on the 24 hour free ferry, which goes every few minutes and is 5 minute walk from the hotel. There is a really nice Indian restaurant a few doors down as well, along with a bar next door which had a pool table and a dart board, so if you didn't fancy going into the centre one night you would be accommodated for. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, we also had a balcony which was a nice surprise, there was no complaints for the room in not getting what we had requested. The only complaints would be that you could hear a lot of what else was going on in the hotel, especially as the doors slammed shut really loud (people banging around at 5 am, someone's alarm on their phone in another room going off for ages in the early hours of the morning, etc...) In addition to this the bed sheets were not a nice material, they felt a bit like a coat, which wasn't great, nice normal bed sheets would be a good addition to the rooms and wouldn't be much to ask for even for the price. Although we didn't request a change so maybe we would have gotten something different if we had. Also there was a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor which allowed light to get into the room as the corridor light was on all night. Overall for the price you can't go wrong, you won't find much else for cheaper with such a good location aside from hostels. And aside from issues I have mentioned the staff and the cleanliness were all perfectly fine, hence the 4 star review despite the hotel not being perfect. Would recommend for anyone travelling on a budget, but if you are expecting luxury this isn’t for you.

I travel for work and frequent hotels on a weekly basis for the last 16 years, usually Hampton inns or holiday inns. I have never had a breakfast remotely as good as what this hotel serves! There was such a variety of different foods, and we would get a great start to our day with a full belly! Was nice as we could skip lunch as prices were so high at the restaurants. Room was nice and otherwise typical of a Hampton Inn.

We arrived early (about 11.30am) to leave our bags but we were kindly offered a room that was available straight away which was very kind. Our room was clean and spacious. Nice clean linen and comfy beds with a nice view of the Main Street. Air con/heating worked well. No street noise at night that I noticed although we were on the 4th floor. All staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Lovely free coffee in reception area. Great budget hotel in an excellent location. Will definitely stay here again

Staff was friendly and the location is unbeatable, but I don’t think I’d recommend this place to anyone unless your only desire is to take things from the “coffeeshops” to your room’s balcony; the rooms are old and dirty, and the bathroom is small and also smelly (like matches?). The floor was dusty and full of dead bugs, and the window didn’t close properly. Also, there is no elevator in the hotel.

A good 5 min walk away from nice Asian food place Market 27 while the environment is peaceful and modern. The housekeeping service is splendid as we returned to the hotel room each night to find everything in order. The bed is hard enough for my comfort. Pillows are splendid and high enough. Water pressure in the bath room is good too. The clothes hanging rack is a little high for shorter Asian people like myself… but still manageable for a 1.7m tall man. Location is the best. It is located opposite metro station that 1 stations distance away then bring you Amsterdam Centre. Besides, it is right besides bus interchange that can bring us to zaandam.

Staff is super friendly. Every time when we went down to lobby, they would ask if we need any drinks. We got tea, coffee, orange juice, and sometimes croissant and fruit for free. The room we stayed was quite small. There are nearby tram stops but you need to walk at least one block. Overall it was a nice stay. We often visited the park nearby and enjoyed the nice neighborhood.

The room is spacious for one person. There js a safety lock and a fridge in the room. Two water bottles are provided on my first day but that’s it. The reception will suggest you to drink water from the tap. The bathroom is in a good size, not too large and not too small. There is no shower curtain, only half cover glass, and therefore the floor outside the shower area will be wet after taking a shower. Hair dryer is available in the bathroom. Decaf coffee and tea are provided. The hotel is in a convenient location, only one station from the Amsterdam centraal. Spar is the name of the convenient store at the Sloterdijk station.

I chose this hôtel as I was travelling from the UK to see Dépêche Mode at the Ziggo Dome. And stayed two nights. Jaz in the City is just steps away from the Ziggo entrance so you can’t get any closer! It’s also great as a base for Amsterdam sightseeing. From the airport there’s a direct train (hotel is a 10-15 min walk from Bijlmer ArenA station). You can also hop on the metro here for a 20 min ride to Centraal. As Amsterdams public transport is so good (compared to Bristol in the UK where I live) you can confidently rely on it to get you wherever you need to be efficiently! Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. From front desk, bar, restaurant and housekeeping. Everyone (thankfully) spoke English which is ideal for me as I can just about say hello and thank you in Dutch! Special shout out to Mr Omelette Maker at breakfast. The perfect start to a day of sightseeing!! I’m sure they’re are cheaper options but I’m of an age where I understand that you get what you pay for. This hotel in my opinion is great. It looks good, is super clean and well maintained and importantly ＜feels＞ good.

On the positive, wellness is very nice, team tries to be helpful and beds are comfortable. On the negative, first room faced street with lots of noise even on the 4th floor. Asked for a room change which they provided to a quieter but a bit smaller room. No issue, it was quiet 😅. In the morning however I noticed a big black bug on the crispy white sheets - less fun that surprise in the morning but hey, we are close to water. The bike I rented from the hotel is a good brand, however poorly maintained - tyres pretty flat and left brake didn’t function. On the hotel info sheet was mentioned that welness opens from 06.00 to 23.00, however at 6.30 only fitness was open and swimming pool only as off seven. No bathrobe or slippers available in the room which was very enjoying seen you have to take lift and cross hallways to reach wellness at 2/3 floor. Finally the surroundings are convenient (close to train station) but it is a super touristy part with nothing for the visitor who is looking for authenticity. In summary, I had high hopes for this hotel but will never return despite a great swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Too Bad
